A person was convicted in Federal Court of a white collar crime, sentenced and finished serving 1 year in prison and 3 years of "supervised release" (a new definition of probation).

When can this person legally exercise again his/her civil rights in full? (Voting, bear arms, etc.)

the right to vote is automatically restored to all convicted felons upon completion of sentence. restoration of the right to serve on a jury requires a gubernatorial pardon. no person who has been convicted of a felony may own or possess a firearm, unless the person has been granted a pardon expressly restoring the ability to possess a firearm.the governor may, without granting a pardon, restore firearms privileges upon the recommendation of the chief law enforcement officer in the jurisdiction of the felons residence if the offense occurred more than 8 yrs ago and did not involve the use of a weapon.
